“I wish you would.” Dana said.

Alice swallowed hard.

“I really have to go.” She pleaded.

“Yeah you don’t wanna be late.” Dana said.

With that Alice made her way to her apartment while Dana stood there looking at her. Alice looked back to steal a glance at Dana and found the brunette still looking at her. She switched her gaze to the front and bit her lips as she entered the building.

An hour later Alice was ready to go to the park as agreed. She steadied her breathing and drove her way towards the destination. Upon reaching the Runyon Canyon she made her way to the first park overlook. She stood there looking around nervously. Few minutes had passed but there were still no sign of the person she agreed to meet. She turned and looked at the scenery of the overlook. She exhaled and bit her lips, waiting patiently.

Then she heard something. Yeah it was the song the person said she would play in her cell phone to signify her arrival.

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high

There’s a land that I heard of once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue

And the dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true

Now the music became clearer and clearer. Alice closed her eyes and inhaled deeply before releasing it. For the first time in her life she prayed to whomever up there to let this be good. Let this be something she had been waiting her whole life. She breathed in and out once more and spun around.

Alice was speechless. A smile crept up across her lips as soon as she saw that person who was standing a few metres from her, but then she quickly became sober as she felt her whole body shaking. She couldn’t describe her feelings now. Surprised, happy, excited, scared, numbed, petrified, pissed; anything you can think of. She gasped when the person walked towards her. It was like as if a huge burden had been lifted off from her shoulders. Tears started to roll down Alice’s cheek.

“Please don’t cry Witty n cute. Don’t cry” The person wiped away the tears with her thumb. Alice shook her head. She chuckled lightly.

“I wanted it to be you. I wanted it to be you so badly.”Tears kept rolling down her cheeks.

“I am already in front of you so please don’t cry Al. My heart breaks whenever you cry.”

“I am so happy Dane. So happy.”

Dana rubbed Alice’s cheek adoringly. They looked into each others eyes deeply and saw nothing but longing and love. Both leaned closer and brought their lips together. It was their second kiss, and there will be many to come. For a life time.
